The Performance of Streaming Vector Graphics

Zoom A Map mapping technology combines innovative streaming techniques with industry standard vector graphics formats to enable publishers of location based wireless services to create applications with superior performance, ease of use and portability.

By using the vector graphic standards increasingly being included on devices by manufacturers, Zoom a map achieves broad compatibility without requiring users to download additional software to enable vector graphics functionality.

Vectors also offer a number of specific benefits when used in the area of digital mapping, notably:

  • Smaller map data sizes that download quickly,
  • An ability to change the scale of a map once downloaded without compromising image quality,
  • The possibility of overlaying additional details on previously downloaded information.
The use of proprietary streaming technology that transfers information progressively, with most important information downloaded first, further enhances the solution's performance by delivering;
  • Superior response times even at low connection speeds,
  • Improved support for applications requiring rapid changes in map view,
  • A reduced memory footprint that makes the solution practical on low-cost, memory-constrained products.
Thanks to the technological advantages described above Zoom a map is ideally positioned to provide rich-media maps that function on a range of terminals with specific performance advantages when used to create mobile services.
